Openly declaring his evangelical beliefs, Andy Duncan claimed that the reality television show was a modern-day embodiment of biblical values. The programme glories under the banner “Big Brother gets evil”. Fights and one incident of contestants having sex on a teenage version of the programme have prompted hundreds of complaints. But, addressing the Faithworks Christian group, the Channel 4 chief executive urged churchgoers to reassess the series.

Mr Duncan said: “Look beyond the shouting and swearing to the people themselves. There are positive values, transformatory experiences and examples of personal growth to be found. For the record, I am a practising Christian on what might be called the evangelical wing of the church.”

He added: “Big Brother winners are all role models in their way; not only because over past series they’ve included ethnic minorities, a gay man and a transsexual — as well as an evangelical Christian — but because in the final analysis viewers choose people whose values they identify with and admire.For many viewers they offer positive examples and practical inspiration for their own lives, and that’s something I’m certainly not ashamed of.”
